Bad Religion: Live at the Hung Jury (1986)

A reminder that at one point in the history of American Hardcore, Bad Religion's (more HERE) containing two members of The Circle Jerks (guitarist Greg Hetson, obviously, but also on this tour drummer Lucky Lehrer) would be their greatest selling point. Reversals of fortune occur, even in punk rock. This surprisingly decent-sounding recording comes from a ten-date East Coast tour that the band did in 1986 promotingthe EP Back to the Known, all of which gets played here. As well we're treated to a Germs cover and, fittingly, a Circle Jerks cover. A fine night's entertainment.
